1 In 2015 in Cape Town, South Africa, and in 2017 in Åre, Sweden, local residents started to share strange photos on social media. There were UFOs in the sky above their towns!
2 These UFO clouds are lenticular clouds. Lenticular is a Latin word that means something has the shape of a lens. A lenticular cloud is round like a lens.
3 After the photos went viral on social media in 2015, meteorologists explained that lenticular clouds form when strong, wet winds move over land with mountains and valleys. When the wet wind rises to go over mountains it cools and becomes a cloud. This process makes the round clouds form over the tops of mountains.
4 Cape Town is in a valley between mountains. One of them, Table Mountain, is very high. It is 1,066 meters tall (3,500ft). Åre is a Swedish ski resort. It is next to a lake in the mountains, 400 meters (1,300ft) above sea level. Both places have the geographical features that can cause lenticular clouds.
5 The clouds weren’t UFOs but they were amazing!

1 Every year, fi res destroy millions of hectares(a hectare equals 10,000 square meters) of forests. Houses burn down and thousands of people die. Smokejumpers are helping to solve this problem.
What is a smokejumper?2 Smokejumpers are a special type of fi refi ghter.
They jump from airplanes into areas that are diffi cult to reach any other way. They may jump into a mountain forest. Then they try to put out fi res very quickly.
What do smokejumpers do?3 At a fi re, smokejumpers fi rst look over the land
and decide how to fi ght the fi re. Their biggest goal is to keep the fi re in one area. They use axes and shovels to remove things that can burn. They only carry a little water.
Who can be a smokejumper?4 Most smokejumpers are men, but more women
are doing the job, too. It is important to be the right height and weight. For example, in the United States, a smokejumper must weigh from 54 to 91 kilograms.
5 Smokejumpers must also be able to live alone in the wilderness. In Russia, smokejumpers must be able to fi nd food in the forest and should know how to make simple furniture from trees.
6 Smokejumping is a dangerous profession. For these fi refi ghters, it isn’t just a job. They love their work. One smokejumper said, “This is the best jobfor tough guys.”

Mystery Lines
In the desert of southern Peru,
thousands of lines and images—
including a spider (pictured), a
monkey, and various other animals
and plants—appear in the earth.
Who created these pictures, and
why? Many of the images are more
than 1,500 years old and are only
visible from the air. Because of this,
some people think they come from
space. Today, we know that most
of the images were in fact created
by people known as the Nasca. The
next question: why are they here?
A team of researchers in Nasca
thinks they have an answer. “In this
area, water was the key issue,”
says research director Markus
Reindel. This area of Peru is one
of the driest areas in the world.
The Nasca drank river water from
the nearby Andes mountains. By
making images for the mountain
gods, the Nasca hoped for more
rain each year.
Over time, however, the climate
changed and the rivers ran dry.
Sometime between a.d. 500 and
600, the last Nasca left the area.
Glossary climate: the weather in a certain part of the world
desert: a dry, often sandy area of land with little rainfall
key issue: the main point or question
religious ceremony: a traditional event, or set of actions, relating to a god or gods
stage: the scene, or area, used for a certain purpose, e.g., a ceremony
Discovered from an airplane in the 1920s, the Nasca Lines are one of the world’s great mysteries.

2World Heritage Spotlight
Thousands of strange designs known as geoglyphs cover an area of nearly
4,000 km2 (1,500 mi2), including the area shown above. The condor is more
than 120 meters (400 feet) long—about the length of a standard soccer field.
The Nasca Lines were not all created at the same time. The earliest designs
were made by people known as the Paracas. The Paracas were followed
by the Nasca people. At first their pictures were mostly of the natural world.
Later these developed into long lines and detailed patterns. According to
researcher Markus Reindel, the Nasca Lines “weren’t meant as images to
be seen anymore, but stages to be walked upon, to be used for religious ceremonies.”
Creating the Nasca LinesScientists now think they understand how
the drawings were made:
Step 1 The Nasca placed large stones to mark
the outer lines of the drawing.
Step 2 The darker stones on top of the ground
were taken away, leaving the lighter stones
underneath.
Step 3 The darker stones were placed along the outer
edges of the lines. The Nasca also used simple
technology—a pole and a rope—to make many
circular designs.

1 Some of the world’s favorite foods are from Mexico. The names of these foods were originally Nahuatl names, and people have grown these foods for thousands of years.
2 In recent years, scientists have studied their health benefi ts. Not only are these foods delicious, they can prevent many illnesses. Let’s look at three of them.
6 The next time you eat one of these super foods, remember that they are tasty and healthy!
3 Ancient Mesoamericans drank chocolate mixed with chilies—it was spicy and bitter. Today, chocolate is one of the most popular sweets, but did you know that chocolate is good for your heart? It can also make you happier. To get the biggest health benefi t, eat dark chocolate. It contains more healthy chemicals than milk chocolate.
4 It isn’t certain who brought tomatoes from Mexico to Europe in the early 1500s, but it’s impossible to think of Spanish or Italian cuisine without them. Tomatoes have Vitamin C and another chemical called lycopene. Vitamin C fi ghts infections. Lycopene can help prevent heart disease, some cancers, and blindness.
5 Avocados originated in Puebla and there is evidence that humans were eating them in 10,000 BCE. Some scientists believe avocados are the world’s most nutritious food. They contain healthy fats, potassium, and Vitamin B. Eating avocados can reduce cholesterol and may help fi ght high blood pressure, diabetes, and some kinds of cancer.

In Nahuatl, chocolate means “bitter water.”
Tomatoes went from Mexico around the world.

Examples Explanations
Many verbs are irregular (go, do, have, forexample). They do not take -ed.
To be is irregular. It has two forms in the simple past: was and were.
To learn irregular past forms, you need to memorize them.
These rules apply to regular and irregular verbsin the past tense:
• Make questions in the past tense withdid + subject + base form.
• Make negatives in the past tense withdid + not + base form (except to be).

1 Annie Griffi ths Belt is a photographer. She has worked for National Geographic since 1978. Her photographs are well known for their beauty and quality.
The Camera Is a Passport2 Belt travels all over the world. Everywhere, she takes
pictures of people. She has found a way to connect with people of all ages and nationalities, even when she doesn’t speak their language. “The camera is like a passport,” she says. She is often surprised to see how quickly people welcome her. Because she is able to “break the ice” with people, Belt has become a successful photographer.
Making Connections3 Experts say that anyone can learn how to make these
connections. When people speak the same language, greetings and small talk can make strangers feel more comfortable with each other. When people don’t speak the same language, a smile can be very helpful. Having something in common can also help. For example, Belt has traveled with her two children. When she takes pictures of children or families, they have a connection.
Becoming a Photographer4 Belt has some advice: if you are thinking about a career
as a photographer, you can volunteer to take pictures for a local organization. You can also take a good look at your best pictures. If you are a real photographer, your photos will be good because of your personal and technical skills. You will also be able to learn a lot by studying photos taken by professional photographers.
5 Remember, the next time you look at a beautiful photograph, you might be looking at the work of Annie Griffi ths Belt. And the next time you meet a new person, don’t be afraid to break the ice—the connection could be very rewarding.

G Communicate In your notebook, write two or three sentences about a project or an experiment you did in school. Tell your partner about it.
Examples Explanations
Louis Pasteur developed
“pasteurization” in the 1860s.
The researcher was investigating
bacteria when he made a
surprising discovery.
I was calculating the results
and Marta was writing our
experiment report.
Use the simple past to talk about completed actions
that happened at a specifi c time in the past. These
actions can be one-time actions or repeated actions.
Use the past progressive to talk about an ongoing
action that is interrupted by a second action.
The second action is in the simple past.
Also use the past progressive to talk about two
actions that were happening at the same time in the
past. Both actions are in the past progressive.
Simple past vs past progressive
We did a project on AIDS. I was looking for the number of patients while José was fi nding out about treatments.
What did you fi nd out?
Our lab team (1) (research) bacteria last week. On Monday, Marcos (2) (collect) samples from the light switch in the lab while I (3) (prepare) the petri dishes.

The natural world is
constantly changing. When
a volcano erupts, it can cause
hot gas to explode into the
atmosphere. The gas reacts
with water in the air and creates
dangerous acid rain. If a plant
absorbs acid rain through its
leaves, it can die.
These eruptions can also send
tiny pieces of volcanic material
into the sky. If they accumulate
in one area, they can prevent
sunlight from reaching the Earth.
This causes cooler temperatures.
But not all changes from a
volcanic eruption are negative
ones. When lava cools and
solidifies, rich soil forms. Plants
begin to grow quickly and animals
find new homes. The earth
regenerates.

In 1984, a researcher named Katy Payne discovered that elephants make sounds that are too low for human ears to hear. (2) We need special equipment to hear the other 60%. (3) Elephants live in family groups that are led by females. The most important reason these females communicate is so that they know where everyone is. (4)

5 Can dogs “laugh”? Recent research shows that dogs tell each other when they want to play. They make a special sound, like a laugh. Patricia Simonet is a psychologist. She made a recording of the sound. When Simonet played the recording for dogs, they all responded positively.
6 So, do animals have a sense of humor? If laughter is a clueclue, then the answer is “yes!”
Dogs may play jokes.

_______________ _______________ _______________ _______________ _______________ _______________
For most of human history, we have not planned our communities. Even though traditional cities can be beautiful, they can also be crowded. It can be diffi cult to get electricity and water to every neighborhood, and they may not have enough schools, parks, or museums. Traffi c jams are usually a big problem, too.
In the 20th century, urban planners began to think about better ways to build cities. They called them, “cities of the future.” A planned community has houses like any other city or town, but it also has schools, parks, museums, shops, and hospitals. Planned communities are usually more energy effi cient than traditional communities. They have good public transportation, so people don’t have to drive cars. The houses may have solar panels to provide electricity and hot water.
We don’t have to wait for the “city of the future” to arrive—there are more planned communities around the world every year. Maybe you’ll live in one!
The fi rst planned communitieswere built in the 1950s

Use the present perfect to emphasize that the result of an action is important.
Use the present perfect progressive to emphasize that the duration of an action is important.
Some verbs cannot be used in any progressive (continuous) form. These verbs usually describe states. Some examples of “state verbs” are emotions, such as like, hate, or prefer, or mental processes, such as believe or understand.

If you want to know how to make cities cooler, you’ll have to understand why they’re so warm. (2) _____ Cities usually don’t have much water, either.
(3) _____ If the city is old and has a lot of buildings, this might be hard to do. In some cities, people are planting “green roofs” on top of apartment and offi ce buildings. (4) _____ If you add enough plants to an urban environment, they could make it cooler. Plants also clean up air pollution.
If a city is green, it may be healthier. In the future, more and more cities will be greener, healthier—and a lot more beautiful, too!
Green walls are one way to cool a city.

Living on the Red Planet 1 Stephen Hawking is one of the world’s most important scientists. He believes
that humans must move into space to survive. “Once we spread out into space and establish colonies, we should be safe,” he says.
2 Today, some countries are already planning to send astronauts to the moon. It is the earth’s closest “neighbor.” Each country wants to create space stations. These stations will prepare humans to visit and live on Mars and other planets that are like Earth.
3 Robert Zubrin is a rocket scientist. He thinks humans should colonize space and that Mars should be the fi rst planet we live on. If we live on the Moon and Mars, we could learn a lot about living on other planets. We can also make discoveries about science, technology, medicine, and health that can help people here on Earth.
4 But not everyone thinks that living in space is a good idea. Many people think that it’s too expensive, even on a short journey. Most journeys in space are not short! A one-way trip to Mars, for example, would take about six months. Also, life would be very diffi cult for the fi rst space colonists. The atmosphere and the Sun’s rays are very dangerous on the Moon. People would have to stay in their houses most of the time.
5 Even with these problems, it seems certain we will live in space. In the future, we might see lunar cities and colonies on other planets. Our fi rst stop is the Moon.
